Find the percent of the population that meets the criteria. The 17th segment of a 20-part unit presents problems that involve percents of a population. Pupils use tape diagrams to create equations to find the percents of subgroups of the total population. At the end, learners realize they can use percents to find percents of smaller subgroups.
